we were hearing and we are waiting for a report from reza sayeh, what egypt's president mohamed morsi is now saying. he is saying that id real's aggression, as he calls it, against gaza will end some time today, maybe in a few hours and that egyptian-mediated efforts will produce positive results. reza sayeh is reporting for us on this issue. he joins us live. so, back up and give us some detail. is mohamed morsi really the person who would be able to effectively say that this aggression now ends? >> reporter: well, it's tough to say. what we do know is that it's intelligence officials in egypt that are apparently leading the negotiations and the man who is doing it is mohammed mashat. in 2011 he helped to negotiate the release of israeli soldier, which suggests this egyptian spy chief has pretty strong contacts in tel aviv and pretty strong contacts in hamas. mohamed morsi, the president, coming out and saying he expects israeli aggression to stop on tuesday. that's pretty consistent to similar statements we've heard over the past 24 hours. last night, an egyptian intelligence offici

the leader there mohamed morsi game himself immunity from any kind of legal challenge until there is a new constitution in that country. some people say that essentially lines him up to be a dictator. >> well he certainly gives him very worrying powers. authoritarian powers. he has not used them. there are lots of reasons he did that. egypt is under the gun to try to produce a new constitution. some of the judges that president mubarak put in toward the end may not be as neutral and objective. let's wait and see how morsi uses these powers. up until now he's done pretty well from the western perspective in working with israel. he did not call for jihad, he did not break off relations with israel. he's been the key facilitator. the question is, is he going to allow egypt to become a real democracy and there's a lot of skepticism about that. he has a lot to prove to the outside world and his own people. >> all right, robin wright, always great to talk to you. >> thank you. >> up ahead on "starting point," an out-of-this world thanksgiving celebration. turkey in zero gravity. we'll tell

president obama and the president of egypt, mohamed morsi, apparently making a real connection to stop the carnage. i want to begin our coverage here of the very fragile truce with arwa damon live with us this morning in gaza city. arwa, i think i hear horns honking. is the celebration there continuing where you are? >> reporter: it is. although the crowds have tapered off a little bit. but it is pretty incredible when you look at the street down below us and compare it to what the situation was like 24 hours ago, when you would hardly see a single person outside and most of the shops were shut. you can see very close to where people were gathering, celebrating what they're calling a victory. just one of the many locations that were bombed during this most recent conflict. that was, in fact, a residential home. the israelis, when they struck it later on, saying that they believe that it was being used by a senior hamas commander as an intelligence operations center. but people, ever since the cease-fire was announced, were taking to the streets. many of them saying that they were celeb

before i let you go, a lot of talk about mohamed morsi pushing toward a constitution. what's the latest there? >> reporter: yeah. so important developments today. as we speak egypt's constitutional assembly voting on the all-important draft of the new constitution. again, this will be the cornerstone of egypt's democratic transition. it's been one of the reasons why president morsi, muslim brotherhood, have been locking horns with opposition factions. this panel is dominated by islamists, the opposition factions say they're trying to squeeze them out. if this vote takes place in about 15 days there's going to be a nationwide referendum. people will be voting for this constitution. and if they approve it, all those controversial decrees that gave president morsi those sweeping powers will be immediately anulled, president morsi and the muslim brotherhood hoping it will calm down the factions. we'll see if that happens in the coming days. >> a lot going on. reza sayah in cairo. thanks very much. >>> ins with washington, the w house is trying to kick start the talks. 33 d

morsi. let's call their relationships complicated. how does that affect the dialogue and possible negotiations moving forward? >> well, president obama and the entire american government have been unequivocal in terms of israel's right of self-defense. but what is also apparent is that our relationship, the american relationship with turkey, with prime minister is of great importance. also one of the things that can be extracted from this circumstance, while president morsi, the new egyptian president, is not like president mubarak, he still plays an extremely important role because of his ability, unique ability, to influence hamas hopefully in a more positive direction to create the dynamic for a sustained cease-fire. what's also important is that even though israel has engaged militarily in gaza, the egyptians under president morsi have not, at least to date, suggested that they would compromise their peace treaty with israel. which is a very important occurrence. now, if israel goes in i
